DIY Origami Ornaments Make Beautiful Christmas Party Decorations

December 19, 2015 by Dana Hinders

origami ornaments

If you’re on the hunt for inexpensive yet stunning handmade party decorations that will continue to add charm to your space long after the event is over, these origami ornaments are a fantastic choice! Not only are they budget-friendly, but they also have a sophisticated elegance that will make them stand out. What I love most about these ornaments is the beautiful color scheme and the added touch of metallic beaded tops, which give them a refined, high-end look that’s perfect for any occasion.

Making these origami ornaments is a simple yet rewarding project. To create each ornament, you’ll need two sheets of origami paper, liquid glue, a paintbrush, thread, and beads. The materials are easily accessible, and once you’ve got everything together, you can start folding your paper into beautiful shapes. The process is enjoyable and allows for a lot of creativity, so you can mix and match colors and designs to fit the theme of your event or simply to suit your personal style.

These ornaments aren’t just for parties either—once the event is over, they can be displayed in your home as a unique, handmade keepsake that reminds you of the good times. They can be hung on the wall, draped across a mantel, or even used as a part of your holiday decorations. Plus, they make wonderful, thoughtful gifts for friends and family members who appreciate handmade artistry.

To guide you through the creation process, All Things Paper offers detailed instructions, including helpful video tutorials to make sure you can follow along every step of the way. Whether you’re an origami pro or a beginner, these ornaments are a fun and rewarding way to add a personal touch to your celebration.

. You’ll need two sheets of origami paper, liquid glue, a paintbrush, thread, and beads for each ornament you wish to make. Visit All Things Paper for complete instructions, including video tutorials.

Stitch Your Favorite Fruit on a Sweater

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.” 

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them. 

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits. 

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves. 

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit. 

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.

Grab a copy of the pattern for yourself form Bea Creative Knits on Etsy.
